Chapter 222: Always Finding Good Things
"Very good, you are worthy of being the iron-blooded men of my Hubei Northern Army. Although you have not been in the camp for long, you already look like you are ready to fight in the battlefield."
Liang Cheng offered some words of encouragement, then changed the subject, "However, Prince Zhao has rebelled and has already taken Linzhou. He's currently resting and recuperating. Perhaps one day he'll also take Chenzhou. If that happens, our Hubei army will be attacked from all sides. Your survival will depend on yourselves! You only have one option: train, train, and train again!"
These words made the new recruits confused, frightened and excited, while the veterans screamed at the top of their lungs, "Train, train, train again!"
When the new recruits heard this, they also shouted, and for a while the shouting was deafening on the training ground.
Liang Cheng raised his hand and pressed it down. "On the battlefield, only the skills you've trained yourself can save your life. Starting tomorrow, your training will be doubled. If you want to survive, train like hell!"
Now the Jiayu tribe outside the Great Wall is not behaving well, and Chenzhou across the river may fall into the hands of the rebel King Zhao at any time. In addition to training hard, the Hubei Northern Army is also stationing troops and storing food as soon as possible to be ready for battle at any time.
Ling Yun was shocked when he heard Liang Cheng say that Prince Zhao had also taken Linzhou. He quickly whispered to Sheng Ze, "How well is Prince Zhao hiding this? He has taken Linzhou and is now thinking of taking Chenzhou. He's completely disregarding the favor Emperor Taizu has bestowed upon Prince Zhao's lineage!"
Sheng Ze said calmly, "He has been planning for many years. If he can't even take Chenzhou, wouldn't he be unworthy of the title of God of War bestowed upon him by King Zhao?"
In his muddled dream, Chenzhou would be annexed in April of the next year, and then King Zhao would ascend the throne directly in Linzhou and change the country's name to Zhao.
At the same time, he confronted the Jin court. When the various tribes outside the Great Wall attacked, he refused the request for help from the Hubei Northern Army, causing all the Hubei Northern Army to die in battle on the banks of the Lan River.
Liang Cheng died in that war.
Shengze is not sure whether these things will actually happen, but it is always better to take precautions before they happen.
Shen Qingqian and Shen Qingxiao returned with two large baskets of seed cotton on their backs. After Xiaolin learned the use of these things, she sighed, "Sixth sister is really blessed. She always finds good things."
These words made Shen Qingqian feel a little nervous.
"What you said is true, sister-in-law. It's not that I'm lucky, it's just that I read too many miscellaneous books in the past, so I know so many messed up things." Shen Qingqian blinked her innocent big eyes and lied with her eyes open.
When all good things happen to one person, it is inevitable that gossip will arise, and Shen Qingqian doesn't want to be talked about.
Xiao Lin had said it unintentionally. Upon hearing this, she chuckled and said, "You must have read a lot to be so lucky. Otherwise, look at me and my third sister. Good things never come to us."
Shen Qingqian felt relieved and immediately changed the subject. "Although I have read some introductions to this flower in books before, I don't know how to deal with it. Do you have any good suggestions, sister-in-law?"
Shen Qingxiao asked in confusion: "Can't we just dry it in the sun and sew it into clothes or quilts?"
Shen Qingqian said nothing and looked at Xiao Lin.
"Let me take a look," Xiaolin said as she turned the cotton. "This stuff feels soft to the touch. It should become very light after drying. It's time to deal with it. Otherwise, I'll just press it down and sew it into the quilt."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian praised Xiao Lin in her heart, "Sister-in-law is right. Let's press this thing down and make a grid with some thicker yarn. The warmth retention effect will probably be better."
